I bought this to complete my set that I started in 1974.  these knives are wonderful.  I do not recommend putting them in the dishwasher however - it messes up the finish on the handle - and shortens the lifespan.  This is a high quality knife and should be treated as such - handle with care and it will serve you a long time.  As you can see - I have had my set for a long time and it is still going strong!  These fit very comfortably in the hand and have no screws or nuts in the handle to irritate the hand - very ergo friendly.
